Introduction:
The i-box Midwest combines a compact turntable design with Bluetooth streaming in one neat package. You can play all your singles, EPs and LPs and even 78s thanks to the three speed control switch. The dual function speaker connects to the turntable via a magnetic charging socket for listening to your vinyl as well as functioning as a standalone portable Bluetooth speaker when detached. Allowing you to listen to streamed music from your phone or tablet in any location. When you want to play a record or recharge the speaker battery simply reattach the speaker to the main unit.

Setting up and operating your turntable:

- Plug the jack plug from the power adaptor supplied into the DC IN socket (23) on the back of the turntable housing then plug the power adaptor into a three pin mains socket and switch the socket on. The adaptor will power the turntable and also charge the BT speaker at the same time.
- Remove the protective Stylus Guard from the tone arm cartridge (12) by gently pulling it forwards.
- Lift the tone arm (6) and fold down the standby clip (4).
- Place the tone arm (6) on the tone arm rest (5).
- Turn the mode selector switch (15) to the PHONO position (the mode LED (14) will light up Red).

- Carefully place a record/disc on the platter/ turntable (1).
- Turn the Speed selector switch (16) to the correct speed (33, 45 or 78 rpm) for the disc you want to play.
- Make sure the Auto stop button (21) is in the On position.
- Lift the tone arm (6) and place the stylus at the start of the record, the turntable will start spinning automatically, gently lower the tone arm.

PLEASE NOTE: When you are not using the turntable to play vinyl records we recommend you replace the stylus cover and unfold the tone arm standby clip (4) and clip the tone arm to it to protect the stylus and tone arm.
Auto-Stop switch operation:
Some records may have an auto-stop area outside the pre-set limit, so the turntable stops before the last track finishes. If this happens, set the AUTO STOP switch (21) to the OFF position. This will allow the record to play to the end, but please note that it will not stop automatically. You must manually raise the tone arm and place it back in the rest and then turn the AUTO-STOP switch (21) back ON to stop the turntable from spinning.
